"Holy shit, so powerful?"
Mu You found that he still underestimated Shadow Ghost's strength.
A level 25 wild monster can't even survive a move in its hands. It can tear a monster apart with just your hands as easily as tearing a piece of paper.
It will definitely be no problem to use this kind of strength to clear this dungeon alone!
The real problem is...the side effects are too scary, right?
Mu You looked at the third to last sentence of text.
Even if you can't gain experience and lifespan, you can't even open the panel.
In other words, his game has now been taken over by Shadow Ghost, and he has completely become a puppet. He cannot be freed until he dies or the Shadow Ghost has had enough fun.
Seeing that five seconds were about to pass, Mu You immediately pressed Rewind and returned to before releasing the shadow ghost.
[Time goes by and you are back in front of the spring again. 】
[After seeing the power of the shadow ghost, I believe you will not be stupid enough to seek death and let it out again, so this time, you choose...]
Devour
Mu You was not in a hurry to continue. He put down his phone temporarily and started thinking.
Now it seems that if you want to use the power of the shadow ghost, you must first solve two problems. One is how to actively let it escape from itself, and the other is how to re-seal the shadow ghost after using it...
As long as these two points can be solved, this shadow ghost can be used as his 'temporary foreign aid' in the game!
The first problem is actually not difficult to solve: since you can let it escape from yourself when you die, then you just need to find a way to commit suicide. Anyway, death in the game only loses a little lifespan.
As for the method of suicide, maybe you can think of a way from the cursed spring...
The main problem is still the second one, how to seal the shadow ghost again.
Thinking of this, Mu You looked at Canary who was resting at the desk not far away.
"Vivian, if I release the Shadow Ghost, can I use the box to seal it again?"
The canary in the distance heard this and looked here strangely: "What do you want to do?"
Mu You didn't hide anything, and described the difficulties she encountered in the game exactly as they were.
"In this case...it's okay."
Vivian's answer made Mu You's eyes light up: "What should we do?"
"If you die while being possessed by a shadow ghost and are resurrected nearby, there will be no other creatures around the shadow ghost. It will definitely fly towards you as soon as possible and want to possess you again. You only need to wait until it is close to you. Open the box in an instant and you can seal it back in the box again.”
"But be careful, shadow ghosts are afraid of the seal box. If you take the box too early, the shadow ghosts will sense the existence of the box and run away. If you take it too late, you will be possessed again and can no longer control the box, so , your chance only lasts a moment, it doesn’t matter if it’s earlier or later.” Vivian said.
"so……"
Mu You nodded solemnly after hearing this.
The conditions mentioned by Vivian are very harsh and would be impossible for ordinary people to complete.
But he is different. Sometimes with the time pocket watch, he can go back infinitely. Even if it is a momentary opportunity, as long as he tries enough times, he can always hit it.
Of course, even so, this is a very dangerous thing. Once he makes a mistake in reverting and fails to conquer the Shadow Ghost, the game will develop into a situation that is completely out of his control...
Mu You hesitated for a moment, but after considering the huge benefits that might come from success, he decided to take the risk.
But before that, he must first be able to roll out a curse that allows him to actively or passively commit suicide, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
Thinking of this, Mu You opened the panel and clicked on 'Gravedigger Skin'.
Nowadays, if you want to add a permanent curse to your skin, you must choose this useless skin first.
[You loaded the Gravedigger skin, and your appearance changed to the image of a Gravedigger. 】
[You walk to the cursed spring, scoop up the spring water and take a sip. 】
[You have acquired the curse 'Arachnophobia': you will tremble from the bottom of your heart when you see any form of spider. 】
"What the hell? Hui Shuo." Mu You looked strange and pressed the pocket watch decisively.
[Time passes, you return to the cursed spring, and once again scoop up a mouthful of spring water and drink it. 】
[You have acquired the curse 'Throwing away things': you will randomly throw away something around you every day. 】
"emmm...recall."
[...You gain the curse 'Permanent Toothache': there will always be one tooth in your mouth that is in pain unless you remove them all. 】
…
[You have obtained the curse 'Absolute Vegetarian'...]
…
[You have acquired the curse of being unable to speak...]
…
It must be said that rolling a specific curse is not that simple.
This curse pool was much richer than expected. Mu You had tried nearly nine hundred times and read almost all kinds of messy curses before he finally came across one that met the conditions.
[You have acquired the curse 'Rage Attacks the Heart': When you are in negative emotions such as anger, violence, grief, etc., your health will continue to drop at a rate of 2% per minute. 】
"This is acceptable!"
Mu You quickly stopped.
The prerequisite for this curse only requires negative emotions, and Shadow Ghost itself is a collection of negative emotions. As long as you are possessed by it, you will definitely meet the triggering conditions.
The blood loss rate is 2% per minute, which means that even if other monsters cannot cause any damage to Shadow Ghost, he will automatically die fifty minutes after possessing him!
Fifty minutes should be enough for Shadow Ghost to clean up the monsters in this instance...
[Because you drank the spring water, the pressure on you is gone! 】
[You approached the corridor again, and after attracting the attention of the little ghost guarding the tomb, you took out the shadow ghost box again and opened its lid...]
[It seems that you have not learned from the previous experience! Shadow Ghost immediately rushed out of the box and got into you. 】
[You are controlled by Shadow Ghost again! 】
[Violent emotions are wandering in your body, bloodthirsty feelings have swept through all your consciousness, the curse 'Rage Attack' will automatically occur, and your health will continue to drop. 】
"It's done!"
Mu You, who was holding the time pocket watch tightly, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this text.
Of course, this is only the first step.
Muyou had no room to operate the remaining steps. At this time, the entire game screen had been directly occupied by the shadow ghost. In the next fifty minutes, he could do nothing but quietly watch the shadow ghost's performance.
[Under the control of Shadow Ghost, you easily tore apart the tomb-guarding kid again, with experience value +0 and lifespan +0. 】
[After the tomb guard kid dies, you see the statues of soldiers and mercenaries around the hall suddenly come to life one after another. They jump down from the stone platform one after another, holding swords and charging towards you. 】
[Level 26 stone knight, attack power 255-260, health value 24500, magic value 300. Possess abilities: taunt, shield block. 】
[You crushed the sword-wielding stone knight, experience +0, lifespan +0. 】
[You easily penetrated the stone knight's shield, and then tore the knight in front of you into pieces. Experience +0, lifespan +0. 】
…
Lines of text kept popping up at a steady frequency of every four or five seconds.
Soon, all the stone knights on the scene were torn into pieces by Shadow Ghost.
The shadow ghost was still not satisfied. Then he heard the noise coming from various corridors, rushed directly into the nearest corridor, and started killing again.
For the next time, Mu You stared at the screen dumbfounded, watching various novel monsters appear, such as captive demons, gargoyles, skeleton monsters, tomb ghosts, headless knights, two-headed ogres, etc... All are wild monsters above level 25!
Mu You found that he still underestimated this dungeon. Even if a team of level 20 players rushed in together, they would never be able to clear this level of dungeon.
However, when these creatures are placed in front of Shadow Ghost, they are no match for each other. They can only be chopped down and cut into pieces!
